How Much Weight Can Safely Be Lost with Smart Lipo?

October 21, 2008
Asked By:Godisgood in Texarkana, TX

I have researched SmartLipo and I truly want to do this. I have lost and kept off 60lbs for over 5 years and even had a baby during this time. I am a size 14, 5ft1 and I am just stuck (and have been for a long time) and ready for a change. My problem areas are my double chin, back flanks and upper thighs. I am just curious how much reduction is safely possible. Can anyone advise?
